Today's #flashfiction Villain At The Theater

“They're after
me lucky charms!”

Tony The
Tiger* #quote

Imagine a
square. Get that image of that square firmly
lodged in your head. Now make it a round square. You may think my
request is impossible. But hey the adjective round exists, and the
noun square exists, so I'm saying lets make the square round! I hope
you managed to get something in your head. I wonder what each person
who read this came up with, if anything at all. Since “round
square” doesn't make sense normally whatever you made up needed to
make sense based on what you think. I won't tell you what I imagined
since that'd bias what you thought. Just enjoy our shared
independence of thought and the flash fiction.

Villain At The Theater

Bob Bobbery,
the secret identity of the superhero Captain Heroking, hung out with
his friends in line for the premier of the new Planet Wars movie. It
was a crowded theater, but it'd be worth the wait for their favorite
movie. Bob Bobbery then noticed a man he knew all too well bump
through the line towards him. The supervillain Brainlord. Oddly
enough Brainlord didn't seem to be causing trouble, but nobody seemed
eager to complain about him cutting in line since he did have psychic
powers.

“Hey, Bob!”
Brainlord said while forcing his way next to Captain Heroking and his
friends. The superhero wanted to have a mundane, non-heroic day
during the premiere of the next movie in his favorite movie
franchise. The supervillain then used psychic powers to send a mental
message to the hero so no one would hear, “How's it going Captain
Heroking?”

The hero
whispered back, “Wait, you know my secret identity?” So many
questions raced through Bob Bobbery's head. Why doesn't Brainlord
attack his family? Use them as hostages in evil schemes? It doesn't
make any sense!
